Thank you for making this English test available online! It was sent to me by a friend who, having accurately determined her level, managed to prepare and got a job in a Western company. I, too, was about to have an interview in English in a Western company. I was very worried, and I needed to make sure of my abilities, since I had not practiced the language for a very long time. To my surprise, at the interview I came across an almost identical test. I passed it with ease. Thank you! Svetlana, Moscow

I am grateful to fate for the fact that I got this test to test my English in a recruitment agency! I had previously completed it and already knew the correct answers. Maxim, St. Petersburg

I was going to send my daughter to study in the UK. We visited many schools and several tutors, some of them offered this particular English test to determine the level. As experience has shown, this test was the most accurate in assessing the level of English proficiency. When her daughter was already in England taking a test at school, she said that she had almost the same one. Thank you! Nina, Russia

Answers

Correct answer Comment
1 what I'm a nurse. And what do you do?

We choose this option because the question implies occupation.

2 some Can I have some fruit, please?

We choose the option some”, not “any”, as this sentence contains a request.

3 a lot We go on picnics a lot in the summer.

In this sentence, the word in the gap describes the verb "go". In this regard, "many" or "a lot of" do not suit us, since they are used with nouns. However, we also cannot choose "never" because its position is immediately before the verb. Therefore, we choose " a lot».

4 any We're thirsty! Is there any juice left?

In this sentence, we are simply interested in the presence of an object, using the construction "There is" in the interrogative form, so we choose " any».

5 dance Mary can dance all night long.

We choose this answer because after the modal verb "can" we should use the infinitive without the particle "to".

6 Those Those boys over there are Spanish.

We choose this answer option, because, firstly, the noun is in the plural form, and secondly, the sentence contains clarifying information “over there”, which indicates that the group of objects is far from the speaker.

7 at Jim is a security guard. He sleeps during the day and works at night.

We choose this answer, since the word "night" is an exception to the rule, and unlike other words that name parts of the day, it is used with the preposition "at" and without the article.

8 worse Nick is a worse tennis player than Tom.

We choose this answer option, since we need an adjective in a comparative degree in this sentence, and only this option satisfies all the conditions.

9 her Mary drives her car to work every day.

In this sentence, we need to use a possessive pronoun, so we choose the option " her».

10 because They want to visit China because they love Chinese food.

This sentence does not contain either alternative or opposition, it explains the reason why the action will subsequently be performed, so we choose " because».

11 for We've been good friends for many years.

In this sentence, we are given information about the "length of the period of time", so with the perfect we choose " for».

12 needn't You needn't pay for the tickets. They're free.

In this sentence, the second part indicates to us that there is no need to perform an action. However, the options "don't have" and "doesn't have to" are not grammatical, so we choose " neednt».

13 which These are the photos which we took on holiday.

In this sentence, we have an attributive clause, but we are talking about an inanimate object, so we choose " which».

14 used to smoke He doesn't smoke now, but he used to smoke a lot when he was young.

In this sentence, we are talking about a past habit as opposed to a situation in the present, so we choose the “used to + verb” construction.

15 better than Nickolas plays chess better than anyone else I know.

In this sentence, we need an adverb in the comparative degree and a suitable conjunction, so we choose " better than».

16 will help I promise I will help you with the washing-up as soon as I finish this cleaning.

In this sentence, we choose "will" after the verb "promise".

17 eating How about eating out tonight?

In this sentence, we need to use the -ing form after the preposition "about".

18 Neither did I I didn't like the film. Neither did I. I think it was really boring.

In this sentence, the speaker agrees with the negative statement, so we choose the only correct option.

19 unless We won't go on holiday unless we save enough money.

In this conditional, we need a conjunction with a negative value, so we choose "unless".

20 had to Jill went down with the flu and had to stay in bed for a week.

This sentence refers to the last episode. In order to show the need / compulsion to perform some action in the past, we choose the option “ had to».

21 tell Excuse me, can you tell me the way to the station, please?

We choose this answer option, since we are dealing with the stable expression “to tell somebody the way”.

22 haven't been I haven't been to the cinema since last year.

In this sentence, we need the present perfect, but the option “haven't gone” is not suitable for us, since this would mean moving in one direction, which in this case is meaningless “did not go to the cinema - means did not go and did not return”, therefore we choose " havent been».

23 Whose Whose bag is this? - It's Neil's.

In this sentence, we are asking about the owner, about who owns the thing, so we choose this option.

24 you were speaking to Who was the man you were speaking to?

In this sentence, we choose the only grammatically correct option, in which there is both a preposition and the grammatically temporary form that is necessary here.

25 to This suitcase is too heavy for me to lift.

In this sentence, we need the particle “to” before the verb, since, according to the rule, such an infinitive is required after the construction “too + adjective”.

26 was there There wasn't anything interesting on TV last night, was there?

This offer is separated question, and the sentence itself is negative, so we choose the option with a plus sign - " was there».

27 was having I was having lunch when somebody knocked on the door.

In this sentence, we are talking about a continuous action that was interrupted by another single action. Therefore, to show this duration, we need the past continuous form.

28 between There's a five-hour time difference between London and New York.

In this sentence, we are talking about two subjects between which there is a certain difference, so we choose the option “ between».

29 us They wanted us to come to dinner, but we couldn't go.

In this sentence, we are dealing with the construction "want somebody do something". And since after the verb the form of the object case of pronouns usually follows, we choose the option " us».

30 the I have been playing the piano since I was five.

In this sentence, we must use the definite article before the name of the musical instrument.

31 the I'm going to visit Mexico and the United States.

In this sentence, we must use the definite article before the name of the country that includes the administrative term (in this case, the States).

32 hard You will pass the test if you work hard.

In this sentence, we need an adverb that would describe the verb "work". However, “hardly” does not suit us, since it has a negative meaning and stands either before the verb, defining it, or before another adverb.

33 to be seen You certainly wouldn't like to be seen in such a bad company.

In this sentence, to convey the meaning - “You don’t want you were seen in such terrible company" - we need a passive design, so we choose the option " to be seen».

34 for I've lost my watch. Will you help me look for it?

In this sentence, we need a phrasal verb with the meaning "search - look", the verb "look" acquires such a meaning in combination with the preposition " for».

35 borrow I often borrow money from my parents.

In this sentence, we need to convey the idea of ​​“borrowing money”, for this we only need “ borrow».

36 is going He is going on a business trip next Monday.

In this sentence, we are talking about an action planned for the future, so we must use the present continuous here.

37 stepfather Greg married my mother after my parents divorced, so he's my stepfather.

We choose this answer option because it is the only one that matches the description given in the first part of the sentence.

38 up He used to be a chain smoker, but he gave up smoking ten years ago.

In this sentence, we need a phrasal verb with the meaning “stop - quit”, the verb “give” acquires such a meaning in combination with the preposition “ up».

39 engaged I tried to call you but your line was engaged.

We choose this answer because it is the only one used to describe such a situation along with "busy".

40 sink The sink is downstairs in the kitchen.

We choose this answer option, because of the listed options, only it can be in the kitchen.

41 am used to getting up I am used to getting up early in the morning now, but before I wasn't.

In this sentence, we need to convey the idea that at the moment a person has developed a certain habit and this action no longer causes him discomfort, so we choose the construction “be used to doing something”.

42 to go I'm looking forward to go holiday in summer.

Here we need to choose the right preposition, and this is “to” and remember that the –ing form of verbs is used after prepositions.

43 tell I want you to tell me the truth!

In this sentence, we are dealing with the stable expression "tell the truth".

44 Although Although I felt ill, I went to the party.

In this sentence, only the “although” variant is grammatically suitable for us, since after despite and in spite of (there is no preposition in the answer options), either a noun or the –ing form of the verb is used, and “yet” usually stands in that part of the sentence that names the action taken. For example, I felt ill, yet I went to the party.

45 receipt I couldn't change my sweater at the store because I had lost my receipt.

In this sentence, only the indicated option is suitable for us, since all other words have a different meaning and scope.

46 had already left Unfortunately, the traffic held me up. When I arrived at the airport, the plane had already left.

In this sentence, we are talking about an action that happened before the next one. To show this, we need the past perfect.

47 have been working I'm exhausted. I have been working a lot recently.

In this case, we are dealing with a standard construction of a sentence - the first part describes the situation in the present (the state of a person), and the second one tells what action, performed over a certain period of time, led to this. According to the rules, it is necessary to use the present perfect continuous here.

48 had noticed If I had noticed the mistake, I would have corrected it.

In this case, we are dealing with a standard type 3 conditional sentence (Conditional III), where in the “If ...” part we need to use the past perfect.

49 for the train to There were a lot of people on the platform, waiting for the train to arrive.

In this sentence, we are dealing with a construction similar to “want somebody do something”, only here the verb “wait” is used, which, if there is an object, is used with the preposition “for” and we are talking about an inanimate object that must perform a certain action, which in turn is expressed by the verb in the initial form with the particle "to".

50 similar to There are a lot of educational websites similar to this one.

Among the given answer options, only " similar to". In the case of "same", it should be "the same as".

51 had better You had better take along some cash. The restaurant may not accept credit cards.

This sentence contains advice that, along with "should" or "ought to", can be expressed with "had better".

52 must Sheila's engagement ring is enormous! It must have cost a fortune.

In this sentence, with the help of a modal verb, we need to express a positive conclusion of a high degree of certainty, which can be done with the help of "must".

53 into He came into a lot of money at a very early age, so he has never had to work.

In this sentence, we need a phrasal verb with the meaning "inherit - inherit", the verb "come" acquires such a meaning in combination with the preposition " into».

54 over Maggie put the blanket over her son to keep him warm as he slept.

In this case, we just need to choose a preposition that would suit us in meaning. Since the woman covered the boy with a blanket, it means that she put it "on top" of the child, so we choose the "over" option.

55 high If you really want to send that letter off today, it's high time you went to the post office.

In this sentence, we are dealing with the stable expression "It's high time ...".

56 had No sooner had I shut the door, when the telephone rank.

In this sentence, we are dealing with an inversion designed to emphasize that as soon as one action happened, something else happened after it. In such sentences, the past perfect is used to show this boundary.

57 hadn't I must admit I hadn't thought how the story would finish before I read the book.

In this sentence, we need to show that it was precisely before reading the book (and this was in the past) that the speaker did not even think that the story could end in this way. And to show an action that happened earlier, the past perfect is used.

58 stop stop me if I've told you this before.

Here we are dealing with a request expressed through the imperative mood, and in this case the initial form of the verb is used without the “to” particle.

59 is always barking That stupid dog is always barking all day long.

In this sentence, the speaker expresses irritation about an action that is repeated too often, for this the present continuous and "always" are used.

60 out Your clothing is so out of date. You need a modern wardrobe.

In this sentence, we are dealing with the stable expression "out of date".

This page contains interesting tests in English - both my essay and from other sites. The tests are divided into two sections. “Author's tests” are tests of my composition. They are not only on knowledge of words and grammar, but also on other topics related to English. “Tests to test your knowledge” are interesting tests from other sites.

English language tests to assess your knowledge

If you have recently started learning English, it does not hurt to evaluate the knowledge you already have. Even if you think that you have absolutely “zero” English, you probably know some words.

1. Puzzle English Vocabulary Test

Many beginners (and not only) are interested in knowing what their vocabulary is. Estimating vocabulary is not an exact thing, but you can find out approximate numbers. When taking this test, you need to tick the words that you can easily recognize. As a result, you will be shown approximately how many words you know, as well as an honesty index. If you did not try to outsmart the teacher, then the index will be 100%.

2. LinguaLeo Vocabulary Test

Another variation of the vocabulary test is that you can take both and compare the results.

Author's tests in English

This section contains English tests that I wrote myself and published on the blog at different times. If this is not your first time on this site, you probably know that I sometimes invent and publish tests. I try to make sure that the test is not only informative, but also interesting.

These tests are not exactly what you can see in textbooks, I would even say that not all of them can be called English tests, sometimes they are quizzes on near-language topics.

I choose different topics: there are both the usual tests for knowledge of words and grammar, as well as more original ones, for example, a test where you need to guess which movie the quote is from.

1.

This test included common English words, taken by me from , however they are sometimes used in not quite usual meanings.

In addition, in the tasks there are “false friends of the translator” - words that are similar in spelling and sound, but differ in meaning.

This test has already been passed more than 10 thousand times, the average result is 4.9 points out of 8.

2.

This test includes easy questions on topics from the school English curriculum, but some of them can be much more insidious than they seem. Be careful!

The average score is 4.6 out of 7.

3.

Phrasal verbs - very interesting topic in English, but certainly not the simplest one. They are very common in colloquial speech, they are often difficult to remember because of their illogicality (this does not apply to all phrasal verbs), moreover, they often have several meanings.

If you wanted, you could find rare phrasal verbs and make a monstrously difficult test out of them, but I decided to do not too difficult tasks, just to show how interesting this topic is!

The average result is 5.1 points out of 7.

4.

Have you ever read poems by Russian poets translated into English? It sounds very unusual, and sometimes funny!

But poetic translation is a very complex thing. It is impossible to preserve the original form and accurately convey the meaning, so the translation of the poem is greatly distorted.

I have selected nine very well translated passages from Russian poetry. Can you guess the author?

The average score is 4.8 out of 9.

And it seems that I did not include a porcupine, wapiti, tupaya or other exotic animals (which sometimes you don’t even know in Russian), but I DO NOT guarantee that you will easily pass the task.

The average score is 4.7 out of 7.

7.

Not the easiest quiz about US states. You may not pass it perfectly, but you will learn something new! After the test, there is an article about US states with electronic flashcards for memorizing the states and their capitals.

The average score is 4 out of 6.

8.

US cities are not an easy topic. History, geography, local traditions and cultural features intertwined here.

With this simple quiz, you can test your knowledge of US cities or discover something new!

Average score: 4.5 out of 7.

9.

This is pretty difficult test you need to guess the book by a short passage in English. The selection includes seven well-known books in English - both classical and modern. All of these books have been filmed.
